Private Sessions
Available
Family
Education Coaching Sessions with Mike are available for
family members dealing with a loved one struggling
with addiction. Because of the complex and confusing
nature of addiction, you might easily over-help,
or
under-help
your loved one caught in the grip of alcohol or drugs. This
can, unintentionally, help
keep your loved one stuck in a self-defeating cycle.
Mike helps
families find the best possible choices
for dealing with their loved one
and when the
family gets the special knowledge required, the best
course of action becomes clear. Tough decisions can be
agreed upon and there's realistic hope for an "end to the
nightmare". For more information, Contact
Us.
Telephone Sessions
Telephone
sessions with Mike for local and out-of-state family
members are also
available. Over the years, Mike has
remained in contact with many successful recovering clients.
His on-going relationship with them has helped provide
priceless knowledge about what
really works. It's difficult to pose an addiction or
recovery problem that Mike has not dealt with. Yet, he's quick
to add, "I don't have
all the answers, but I do have some great clues."
With
modern technology constantly improving our phone and e-mail systems,
phone coaching works great. Take advantage of Mike's
knowledge and experience by requesting a no-obligation phone
consultation. For more information about Family Education
Coaching, Contact
